A new method of preserving fruit is
practiced in England. Pears, apples, and
other traits are reduced to a paste, which
is then pressed into cakes and gently
dried. When required for use it is only
necessary to pour four times their weight
of boiling water over them, allow them
to soak for twenty minutes, and then add
sugar to snit the taste. The fine flavor OF
the fruit is said to be retained to pertec-
ton.

he Has Gone TO the Grave.
To THE MEMORY OF SAMUEL HARRIS:
Died Feb. 8, 1887.

Died Feb. 8, 1887.
This young man was endeared to all
who knew him, for his high and noble
character. He was honest in all his
dealings; he was kind to the poor, and
ever willing to help the Church of God;
but a.as, he has left us. His death, so
sudden and tragic, has over our hearts
cast gloom, but we know we must
humbly submit to the will of Him, who
notes each sparrow's fall Though we
mourn his sad death most sincerely, and
loath would part with this friend, yet
we trust he is far better off in that land
where our troubles all end.
He has gone to the grave, fresh in life's
early morn,
While its prospects beamed radiant
and bright;
While the sweet flowers of hope round
his pathway were thrown,
Undimmed by the shadows of deaths
gloomy night.
But, alas all have persisted and faded
away,
And the hopes so long cherished are
blighted and crushed,
And the joys that once dawned with such
Frightening ray
With the form of that loved one have
crumbled to dust
He has gone to the grave from his once
happy home
The light that beamed brightly in
darkness hath set,
And those loved ones now gather in sad
ness to mourn,
With hearts wrung with anguish and
lasting regret,
lie hasgOne to the grave, yet the casket
alone
In its darkness and gloom has with
weeping been laid,
Respondent in glory before that bright
throne,
All radiant with beauty the rich jew
els displayed.
Then weep not in anguish as those with
out hope,
For soon will life's journey and trials
be DER,
When secure with Gods jewels all safe
treasured up,
In happy reunion we will part never
more.
He has gone to the grave, and on mem
ory's bright page
His worth deep enshrined, unchanged
will endure;
And though round him in fury the
wild tempests rage,
They disturb not his rest, they can
harm him no more.
Then calm be his sleep in that dark
lowly bed,
Meath that sweet shady spot where
they have laid him to rest,
Till that morn when triumphant he'll
awake from the dead.
To share with those loved ones the
joys of the blest. A.
